Summary
This study tested whether a special 'no-touch' method of taking leg veins for heart bypass surgery helps the grafts stay open longer. About 900 people having their first bypass surgery took part. The researchers compared the no-touch method to the usual technique and checked the veins with CT scans two years later.
